Javaris Milton blamed the influence of street gangs and himself on the allegations two of his children face. In an interview with KETV NewsWatch 7's Jobeth Devera on Thursday, Milton said he, more than anyone, is to blame for his children’s suspected involvement in the fatal Miller Park shooting that killed Jamymell Ray, 31, and injured Charles Fisher, 30.

"I messed up," Javaris Milton said. "I exposed my kids to a lot of things they should have never been exposed to."

Javaris is currently serving life in prison for a murder in Minnesota.

"It's now possible for a kid to think about being in a gang or possible to think about being violent, because it has happened around him," Daly said.

Daly added that rehabilitation for children is important and possible with the right role models.

"There's all kinds of new learning that's going on here every day for these boys and girls," Daly said. "That's why I know that this 12-year-old can still learn things, because our kids are learning things absolutely every day in this village."

Daly told KETV NewsWatch 7 that at Boys Town they have a saying: turn in gang colors for school colors. He said it's critical for kids to have some form of affiliation.
